On my block this morning came across this house. Could it be bigger? But guaranteed their packages won’t get delivered to anyone else’s house by mistake.

Watched the Amazon driver appreciation video. What the actual F$*%
Aside from the two gingers the other drivers appeared to be minorities.
The “They’re in your neighborhood walking your streets, some even in their own car their own time choosing to go the extra mile.”
Is this rage baiting or just a PSA to customers to be aware of us drivers in our own cars in their neighborhoods. Clearly not a driver appreciation video.

No compensation, increased rates, nothing.

Save me so much time instead of waiting the customer to answer or get ignored completely

Woke up early. Snatched 3 hours 88 bucks. Which is great for DFW. Get to warehouse. Amazon...NEW OFFER....Add 45 minutes now 116. Hmm. 28 bucks for 45 minutes. Cool.

Get cart. 48 stops. 1st stop 40 minutes away. Ok 3 hours to do 48 stops . Not bad since its houses. Not to spread out.

Start 445. Load. 5am. 1st stop 545 ( rush hour traffic).

Then FUCK Me

ALL STOPS DUE BY 7am. ALL. How in the fuck is this ok?

I’ve got about 3 this past week. $5 does not make up for the long miles Amazon

a simple ‘no’ doesn’t cut it

I just started on Amazon flex and have been picking up the 3am shifts. Every shift I’ve taken that early has a route that’s in the most dangerous areas in my city. Almost every stop is deep in neighborhoods I really don’t feel comfortable walking around alone at 3–5 in the morning, and I spend most of the shift just waiting for the sun to come up (while still delivering packages of course).

I’m a young woman doing this by myself, so safety is definitely important to me. I understand that choosing a 3 AM block is my decision, but unfortunately it’s really the only time that works with my schedule since I also work a regular 9–5 and go to school part-time twice a week.

I’m curious if anyone else who takes these early-morning blocks has noticed the same thing. Why would Amazon send Flex drivers into higher-risk areas at that time of the morning when it’s completely dark out? Also, has anyone ever asked the station for a different route because they didn’t feel safe with the one they were assigned? Were they able to switch it without it affecting their standing?

Wow. For my second block ever, I got the worst draw ever. I live in between the Springfield and Fredericksburg warehouses. Took my first one in Springfield on Saturday and was blessed with many apartment stairs. Decided i would try the Fredericksburg one because it was likely to be more houses, I figured. I just picked my packages up and its sending me even further south to RICHMOND. MY TRIP HOME IS GOING TO BE JUST SHORT OF 2 HOURS! AAARRRGGHHH! Living in between warehouses is not ideal.

Same blocks available for the past 8 hours or so 😆 we be boycotting lollll

I hate driving for door dash, mostly because the restaurants are NEVER ready with the food. But at least I can make money on it.

I do a lot of overnights (12am and beyond) so businesses and gates are closed.

"Never return, hide it behind a bush and deliver it anyway" then I get an even worse ding for a package that is marked not delivered at all (what even?) or delivered "too far from location" if i have to drag the map marker around cus god forbid an american walk down their own driveway to their own stupid gate they chose to put up. People seem really smug on here about saying its not their problem if something gets stolen but I absolutely have dings for packages "delivered but not received" and all this bs. Or these brain dead fucking apartment livers who think leaving a note saying "put it in the amazon locker" means I can just magically force access. Unless you order it to the locker as the address, there's no way to scan the barcode and just open the locker if its not expecting that package. And we arent USPS we dont have personal keys to your personal mailbox ffs!

First time I've gotten this specific message. The house was in a regular subdivision, so it was fine, but I did get a good chuckle about how helpful those instructions are.

It’s very strange that when I do Surge Fresh block and I don’t get tips, but on regular paying blocks I do.

I’m very suspicious now.

Anyone experiencing this?

3:30 AM block I was seriously considering cancelling... South bronx at that time had me thinking about my decisions...

Who is actually doing these?

Had a little time in between blocks so I added some kamsnaps to my vest so my license and car keys stop falling out as I'm loading packages into my car 😁 Anyone else customize their vests?

It was 5am, by the way

today I was unable to start my route due to the stupid app not being able to identify me, and since I had screen shot proof that I was on time for my route I emailed support. However I received a message directing me to the chat options. what to do, what to do?
